  It reads as if you only have to get the permit with any valid ticket to carry on with free parking.
  
  I assume that Folkestone residents who aren't affected by the closure are parking for free and Southeastern are trying to stop that.

  Expected reopening
  We are pleased to tell you that Network Rail has agreed a repair and rebuild plan, and is working to re-open the railway between Dover and Folkestone in December 2016. While this seems like a far off milestone, it is necessary to give engineers the time to re-build the wall and complete the complex work which is needed in order to get the line open.
  
  As part of the £44.5m major project by Network Rail, engineers will need to completely rebuild the damaged section of the sea wall and railway. This work will take many more engineers, much more time and a great deal more money than a standard repair job, but this project will secure the line at Dover for many years to come. We thank you for your continued patience while waiting for a date and thank you for your on-going understanding while the work takes place.[U][/U]

  Can't say i'm surprised at the anticipated length of time the job will take, I think many will be pleased to know that it seems to be a long term solution rather than a patch up.

  A great shame it is going to take so long but entirely understandable, simply because they have to work with the sea getting in the way for several hours every day never mind when the weather is against them.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Hopefully that should stop all the naysayers, with their conspiracy theories of secret plans to close the line.
